For example, if the player rolled a 6 and a 2, they may close either the 8 tile, or both the 6 tile and the 2 tile, or just the 6 tile, or just the 2 tile (as long as the numbers are available to be covered). The player then rolls the dice again, aiming to shut more numbers. The player continues throwing the dice and shutting numbers.
Smalti tile, sometimes referred to as Byzantine glass mosaic tile, is a typically opaque glass tile originally developed for use in mosaics created during the time of the Byzantine empire. [ 2 ] Smalti is made by mixing molten glass with metal oxides for color in a furnace; the result is a cloudy mixture poured into flat slabs that are cooled ...
A water-based primer, used primarily on wood. A primer (/ ˈ p r aɪ m ər /) or undercoat is a preparatory coating put on materials before painting.Priming ensures better adhesion of paint to the surface, increases paint durability, and provides additional protection for the material being painted.
Vitreography (printing technique) – use of a 3⁄8-inch-thick (9.5 mm) float glass matrix instead of the traditional matrices of metal, wood or stone. Vitrigraph pulling – pulling molten glass strings from a wall mounted kiln—called a vitrigraph kiln— usually into shapes such as spirals.
A spot plate, also called a reaction plate, color test plate, [1] or spotting tile (British English), is a laboratory tool made either from ceramics or plastics. [2] Each plate consists of many cavity-like depressions in which only small amount of reactants can be added at a time. [ 3 ]
Temp sensitive glass tile. Temperature sensitive glass is a glass material that reacts to ambient temperatures radiated off of other surfaces, e.g. hands or water. The liquid crystals beneath the glass surface impact color upon temperature. [1] There are three main phases of these crystals: nematic, smectic, and chiral.
First Tile Cutter Invented by Boada Brothers. The ceramic tile cutter works by first scratching a straight line across the surface of the tile with a hardened metal wheel and then applying pressure directly below the line and on each side of the line on top. Snapping pressure varies widely, some mass-produced models exerting over 750 kg.
A sliding puzzle, sliding block puzzle, or sliding tile puzzle is a combination puzzle that challenges a player to slide (frequently flat) pieces along certain routes (usually on a board) to establish a certain end-configuration. The pieces to be moved may consist of simple shapes, or they may be imprinted with colours, patterns, sections of a ...
